Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth

thumb|How did the structures collapse in near-symmetrical fashion when the damage was clearly not symmetrical? ~ Nathan Lomba, S.E., P.E Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth is an American non-profit organization promoting a controlled demolition conspiracy theory, disputing accepted conclusions around the September 11 attacks, including the 9/11 Commission Report, as well as FEMA's "WTC Building Performance Study" (2002).

Nathan Lomba, S.E., P.E The main puzzle was how two buildings with highly asymmetric damage could fail vertically downwards into the strongest part of the buildings — their steel-columned cores. And not only fail vertically, but at a speed that indicated structural resistance being removed sequentially from under the collapse wave. Few engineers would imagine buildings a quarter-of-a-mile high failing vertically, into their main structures, rather than failing laterally — given the eccentric damage. John Watt, C.S.E. Symmetrical collapse requires simultaneous failure of all supporting columns. Charles Pegelow, P.E. Perhaps it might be possible that the building floors would pancake down, but the huge steel columns would be left protruding out the top as the floors went down. Lynn Affleck, P.E.
